The Adventures of Princess Cuppycake: MMMmeatballs!

Pair these meatballs with brown rice and brocolli for a delicous and balanced meal.

As the busy mom of two special needs boys (one with autism), I understand the importance of a healthy, quick meal that my family will enjoy. My boys love meatballs and these meatballs are extremely flexible – you can mix them into a spaghetti sauce, serve them on GF buns for subs, or put them with gravy like I did. They also freeze nicely, so double up the recipe to have extras on hand!

1 lb. good quality ground beef

1/3 c. GF bread crumbs (*to make homemade, see below)

1/4 c. water

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 clove garlic (diced)

¼ small sweet onion (diced or run through food processor)
